Chapter Seventy-Two: Backtracking
"Wow"
When Lin Yuan finally grabbed a tree trunk that reached the surface of the water and climbed ashore, he was already at least fifty miles away from that battlefield, and before that, he had been pretending to be dead, and even avoided being rescued by a reincarnation.
As for the others, they have already landed on the East Coast.
"Whew"
Spit out a breath of turbidity, Lin Yuan casually ripped off the worn leather armor on his body, and then replaced it with the Death Knight Armor, this set of armor is different from the previous talent heavy armor, that set of talent heavy armor can be disguised as skin and appear at any time, but the Death Knight Armor does not have this function.
When the two-handed sword was also equipped, Lin Yuan took out the food and chewed it for a while, and at the same time, his double hearing and double sense of smell were quickly turned on, constantly searching the surrounding area of hundreds of meters, these two talents are good, theoretically, unless it is a more skilled hunter or a professional assassin, it is difficult to launch a surprise attack on Lin Yuan.
A few minutes later, Lin Yuan stood up, but he walked along the bank, towards the battlefield where he came, and it is worth explaining that the location he was at the moment was on the west bank of the Heishui River.
This action is undoubtedly a bit weird, or simply to put it simply, it is looking for death, but Lin Yuan has his own reasons.
First, he doesn't care about the two main quests, and the second escort quest is just that, although the rewards are very rich, but to escort thirty reincarnators with their own thinking patterns and good strength, it is more difficult than an old sow going up a tree.
That's a pit!
You know, those reincarnators are not novices, and they can be obedient with a casual threat. In this case, he cannot explain his identity as a guardian. The main thing is that it is also impossible to threaten with force. After all, in Lin Yuan's opinion, his current strength may not be as good as some reincarnations.
In this case, whoever is kicked in the head by a donkey will do this.
Therefore, Lin Yuan simply didn't think about this second main quest, and he was sure that the three of Old Jack would inevitably do the same, anyway, even if they didn't do it, there would be no punishment.
As for the first main quest, it takes ten days to get to Ximu Town, which is very simple. There is also no punishment, not even a reward, in the literal sense, returning to Ximu Town alive within ten days seems to give people the illusion that if you don't go to Ximu Town, you will die.
But in fact, in Lin Yuan's opinion, this is another damn bad taste.
Even if you hide somewhere for ten days, it's okay. Absolutely.
Of course, this main quest 1 actually gives people another illusion, that is, the real main quest. You have to rush to Creekwood to open it.
This is indeed a fact.
However, it is not that simple.
Because the appearance of the crow ghost woman and the wolf pack is not accidental.
According to Lin Yuan's mode of thinking. First of all, the battlefield was not a deserted place. There was a fairly smooth road, even on the fast-flowing Blackwater River. There is also a wooden bridge.
According to the details that Lin Yuan observed in just five minutes, this road is very well maintained, at least it shows that on weekdays, there are merchants passing by here.
So, the question is, what are the chances of a pack of more than 1,500 wolves popping up on such a fairly smooth road? Not to mention there is also an evil and kinky. The crow ghost woman?
This is impossible, because such a dangerous road will soon be abandoned.
Therefore, it can be deduced from this that the group of evil wolves and crow ghost women came from a long distance, and they were definitely not attracted by the bloody gas.
And the wolf pack is definitely not a natural formation, it is likely that the crow ghost woman summoned it.
In this way, there will be a second question, that is, why did the crow ghost woman come?
Is it for the delicious human flesh, or for the strong men?
Of course not, there must be something more important, which is why the crow ghost woman was attracted.
This is the point, and then the second point, the Imperial army after ambushing the Stormcloak, capturing the leader of the Stormcloak, Ofrick, and together capturing the hapless protagonist and the horse dealer, is the background of the plot, but there is still a problem.
Who burned that wooden bridge?
Is it the army of the Empire? Or was it burned in battle?
According to normal thinking, it is impossible for the imperial army to burn the wooden bridge, and since they are ambushing, they have an advantage, so why should they draw snakes?
And it is also unrealistic to be burned in battle, this wooden bridge must be huge and strong, it is impossible for the Imperial army to burn it on its own initiative, and Ofrick's storm cloak is estimated to have no chance to burn.
What's more, according to Lin Yuan's observations, the Imperial army had a lot of carts, and they should have thrown Overrick and a group of prisoners into the carts before leaving, and those fresh ruts can prove this.
This shows that after the Imperial army took away Ofric and the protagonist, the wooden bridge is still there and intact.
Well, things are interesting, who has the heart to burn wooden bridges when neither the Imperial army nor the Storm Cloak burned wooden bridges?
Lin Yuan didn't know, but he could be sure that there must be a very important clue to the battlefield and the banks of the river, as well as the scene after the wooden bridge was burned, and this clue may be the real main line!
Of course, since this mission world is extremely huge, the so-called main quest must also be extremely complicated, everywhere, it doesn't matter, Lin Yuan just feels that he needs to investigate.
The road in the woods is very difficult to walk, due to the proximity to the river, the vegetation on the west bank is very lush, Lin Yuan also has to hold a two-handed sword to keep opening the road, and occasionally stab a few huge mireururks, these guys are about the same size as the face, wielding big pincers, fierce and abnormal, even the small tree with a thick fist, can be snapped with a click, if it is not in a hurry, Lin Yuan does not mind tasting them.
I didn't encounter a giant wolf along the way, but occasionally I saw foxes and rabbits, as well as wild goats, and Lin Yuan let go of the fox, but the rabbits and wild goats were all shot to death and thrown into the subspace of the pentagram, because there was no supply, and because of the amazing amount of food, Lin Yuan was very worried that he didn't eat next, and now he just replenished.
In this way, after an hour and a half, Lin Yuan finally rushed back to the battlefield, but when he was about to get closer, he suddenly stopped, his pupils constricted, because there were fifteen people standing there next to the burned wooden bridge.
Three of them are old Jack and them, and the rest are all reincarnators.
Uncle, there are really a lot of smart people, and these guys have thought of it themselves. (To be continued......)
